About us
The mission of the Prichard Committee is to promote vastly improved education for all Kentuckians. We believe in the power and promise of public education – early childhood through college - to ensure Kentuckians’ economic and social well-being. We are a citizen-led, bipartisan, solutions focused nonprofit, established in 1983 with a singular mission of realizing a path to a larger life for Kentuckians with education at the core.

Nice visit to Illinois with Dr. Donnie Hale to collaborate with other community school champions. Stop 1: Dewitt Clinton Elementary in Chicgao to talk with the university assisted Community School Resource Coordinator in charge of out of school opportunities. Annie’s passion for supporting students, families, and school staff is contagious! Stop 2: Incredible vision for community schools from ACT Now that will support 32 schools across the state of Illinois! Stop 3: Skokie-Morton Grove District 69 has been operating as a community schools district for around 10 years! Their systems-level approach and support for all families, students, and staff is amazing! Inspired! #buildingcommunity Institute for Educational Leadership Skokie - Morton Grove School District 69 ACT Now Illinois Prichard Committee
